What does a Geologist do?...

In case you were wondering what a Geologist does...he holds maps! (good job babe)

...he holds more maps...and looks at the camera, too cool to smile.

...he points to stuff written on a paper...and they seem to be paying attention! {I don't think he has ever gotten that kind of feedback at our house!}

...he points at it more seriously

...and finally, this is the face and hand gesture that says "Look, let me tell you about this rock!" {truth be told I don't know what came after 'Look', I just know after 14 1/2 yrs of marriage...Look, was the first word out of his mouth! How? Because of his face and hand gesture!} :)
**I know I am giving Shawners a hard time...he knows why! He earned this one fair and square last night!
Love you babe!!!

Enchanted Rock

Getting ready to leave!
Shawn took the boys camping over Christmas break. They went to Enchanted Rock. It's west of Austin. They loved it! They had such a good time and Shawn loved that all his boys are old enough to go camping and enjoy it! The pictures are so pretty. They had great weather just cold at night! I have to say that I hope this turns into a yearly event...I got the whole house to myself for 3 days while they were gone (Kailee was in Seattle) it was heaven!!! :) :)

Ready for bed the first night
They didn't get to have a campfire...they found out when they got there that there was a burn ban. Bummer...they were pretty bummed about it!!

Being silly on the way up!

Posing for a picture with the "mountain" behind them that they climbed to the top of! ("mountain"...because there are no mountains in Texas!)

Peek-a-Boo

These rocks were huge and Austin was very nervous that they were going to go tumbling any minute...he was a little nervous to even touch them at first for fear he would push them off the "mountain" :)

A little break on the way up...this was a pretty steep climb.

On their way up...almost to the top!

Always willing to pose in Optimus Prime mode!!

Starting up the "mountain"

Hanging out by some granite

Squeezing through!

The boys were sooo tired the 2nd night there...all that hiking wore them out! It was pretty cold too...but the tent heater kept them warm and they all slept good! Shawn and Austin were playing a game and looked over when they heard Kyler make some noise...they saw him pick his nose and eat it! (I know...yuck!!) Then next morning Kyler told Shawn about a dream he had..."I had a dream that last night I ate a hamburger and it came out of my nose...but it was so good!!" :)

One last hike before heading home!!

and the winner is....

...a Nikon D40!!! I love my new camera! I can't wait to start playing with it! I decided to get the same kind as Exxon. Shawn brought his work camera home so I could look at it a little and see how the fancy pants cameras work. After going to the store and testing many, many cameras...I decided this was the one I wanted! I figured if Exxon uses this to take pictures of rocks and relies on the pictures to tell them where to find the oil...then it would work for my card and kid pictures too!! :)
I hope to get some pics of what I have been working on and share something later tonight or tomorrow morning!
chat at ya later!!!

Finally...some Christmas pics!

After opening presents and stuff!
Christmas was wonderful! Santa brought a Wii...we have had a blast paying with it! It's the weirdest thing...my kids have more kind and helpful to each other in teaching each other the games and how to use it...the patience they all have with each other is amazing...I have no idea why Santa didn't bring one sooner!! :) It's been awesome...who knew video games would bring us closer together...seriously!! :)
